Guild Wars 2

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

Yeah, most likely PU, another build based around the well balanced invisibility mechanic this game has. Just run whenever they turn invisible since there is nothing smart you can do to counter and it will reduce the likelihood of you taking significant burst damage. Attack and try lock them down when they re-appear, which will most likely fail in the first attempt since they will stun break with blink. Run again when they turn invisible, and repeat this process until they are dead or have disappeared away.

I am confuse…

If there is a tie, each server will be awarded the rewards for that place. e.g. if NSP and IoJ tie for 8th each will receive 8th place rewards.

This is it folks, the final match up of the season. Who shall come in last? Will it be NSP or IOJ? Find out at the end of the match up!

This question will be answered by whoever CD decides to blob harder this match! Exciting!

Now to bribe CD with our loose women and furry charrs.

Can I get a furry loose charr woman?

Why would you use tab targeting at all in PvP? 90% of what you get will include boars, deers, walls, gates, arrow carts, jagged horrors, and the obvious clone. Anyone who is half-way decent at PvP uses clicking because it’s the only way to reliably target someone in this e-sport game.

Did the badwagon fall apart already?

I think a few ambient here and there would help a ton for us Necromancers. I find myself low on life force every time I duel and am forced to ask enemy players for some.

That’s my only complaint about it also, pretty hard to win fights with 0 life force.

Select minion to an utility skill. Summon it. Select some other skill to that slot. Repeat with other minion skills and profit.

0.o Thanks!

Why do you think Necro was the shunned red headed stepchild in GW1’s pvp? No corpses? No minions for YOU.

May have changed later, I dunno, I left after first 2.5 years.

Also what about sigil stackers?

Sigil stacking affects all classes equally so not really an issue, and there were still some minion builds that worked in GW1 pvp with the jagged bones enchantment and shambling horrors.

Too many executioners zooming all over the map like they’re Speed Racer, blame them.

CDI = Collaborative Development Initiative, where players and developers work together to improve the game. (pretty silly that a player has to explain it, but whatever)

Anyway, to all the confused people in this thread, it is NOT a discussion about how to improve WvW, it is a discussion about how to improve the discussion to improve WvW. It’s a little bit like the movie Inception, but more stupid.

I don’t get it.

Heimlich.3065:

It’s things like this that make borlis.org is the most entertaining wvw site I’ve ever found.

Checked it out, good read. Borlis kids skipping school to WvW, so gud.

Terrahero.9358:

So we’re going to be talking about how we’re going to make talking about WvW issues better?

Yo dawg, I heard you like gathering feedback, so we made a thread to gather feedback on our thread for gathering feedback so that you can provide feedback on how you liked our feedback.

junglizm.5843:

Your wet noodle hammers and PVT train couldn’t down the Moa NPC outside of spawn.

I want to hear this at a bar fight.

What process? All that happened was you guys said “Population imbalance is the most requested issue with WvW, discuss.” Then a lot of people posted ideas, Devon posted questions occasionally, and then closed the thread and said thanks for the input, will use as reference. Population imbalance is still an issue, I still have no idea what Anet plans to do to fix it, or even what direction they are taking. What exactly was accomplished other than fishing for ideas from players, which were already posted on the forums in the first place? How can you review a collaborative development initiation when there was no collaboration or development?

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Well, not according to the wiki, and I’ve never heard anyone say they got 5, but maybe you were extra lucky! =)

I wouldn’t trust the wiki to mention it, there have been changes to skills in the past that aren’t mentioned in the official patch notes, and the wiki is updated almost instantly to reflect the new skill parameters with no reference to the change. Most game wikis include historical information about skills and items that have changed over time, but there is no historical information to be found on almost anything in the GW2 wiki.

Warriors need teleport skill on longbow, only infinite range. They just open up the map and click wherever and they will port to that location instantly.

The math is not very strong in you.

No need for insults, I didn’t calculate the 10% others did in other parts of the forum.

Believing statements by random people without question is the leading cause of stupidity.

Trying to support an argument by doing simplistic calculations that don’t take everything into account is hardly more intelligent. The folks who have done the math have laid it all out here on the forums for everyone to see. The fact that you weren’t able to follow it, or care enough to find it, doesn’t make everyone else stupid.

It does, however, say something about you …

You seem like an angry little person, try reading my original post. A guy speculated on the increase in armor value for ascended armor. I stated that it would likely be 5% since the increase in damage value for weapons was 5%. Guy responds to me and says it isn’t 5%, it’s at least 10% and provides no evidence or calculation. I show that the increase in damage value from exotic to ascended weapons is exactly 5% with a simple calculation to support my original claim that the increase in armor value will most likely be 5%. Then some person frustrated with his life comes in here and spews a lot of garbage that makes no sense in the context of my statement. Work on the reading comprehension skills bud.

Anyone from Anet tell me why the dead are allowed to remain in keeps/ fields/everywhere to act as spies for their server? They are dead, force them to respawn turn the camera in the floor so they cannot see or something similar but do not allow them to see any enemy movement.

This is GW2, camera is only allowed to turn into the floor and block vision while in the middle of a fight.

The increase in damage going from exotic to ascended weapons is 5%,

Its actually at least 10%.

With asc armor the actual stats may not be that much of an advantage I would think the greatest advantage is going to be in the increase in base armor values.

Max damage on Ascended GS = 1155
Max damage on Exotic GS = 1100

% increase = (1155 – 1100)/1100 = 0.05 = 5%

The math is not very strong in you.

Factor in the extra stats and the what the 5% damage increase in the crit damage equation and you are looking at about 10% if you are zerk.

Cool story, but I said the increase in damage on weapons was 5%, which it is. I didn’t mention stats, but feel free to show how you came up with 10%.

Use plague form in zerg → get immob4lyfe → no access to condi remove cuz plague → get ded → gud gam

I used a twisted watchwork shoulder skin on light armor shoulders, and later decided to change the appearance of the item, but wanted to retain the watchwork skin. The transmutation splitter says that it returns the item that gave the appearance, which would be the watchwork skin, but instead it gave me a lvl 1 light shoulder armor that had the appearance of the watchwork shoulders. Since you cannot transmute armor across different classes, this means that in the future I can only transmute light shoulder armor to the watchwork appearance, whereas the original watchwork skin could be applied to any armor class. Disappointing that the item does not do what it says considering it costs 300 gems, hope it is a bug. With the release of more cross-armor class appearance items such as the gas mask and toxic gloves/shoulders, this would mean that even with transmutation splitters you need to be careful when applying these skins since it will lock the skin into the armor class you use it on.

Ragnar.4257:

Just delete it all.

Have you seen the ascended armours that are rumoured to be coming in December? They all look like trash. And the difference in stats between full (all 6 pieces) exotic and full ascended is 36 points (plus, I guess, the difference in defence). Less than 4 stacks on your stacking weapon. Less than 1 stack of Applied Fortitude.

It’s actually kinda a relief that Ascended Armour can be completely ignored by WvW. It’s a win for people who want balanced play. Also, I’m about 300 gold richer simply by knowing I don’t need to worry about this :P

The increase in damage going from exotic to ascended weapons is 5%, so I would guess the increase in armor from exotic to ascended is also 5%. Pretty good considering it’s the same increase granted by several traits and sigils/runes. Plus you get a few more stats.

Drigan.7382:

Relax. I said was quit chest thumping about beating T4 and T5 server equivalents because the scoreboard is completely irrelevant to anything worth talking about unless its between servers with even remotely comparable coverage.

In other news: would TDS or any guilds from CD be able to GvG this week? 15v15 or 20v20?

TDS ded gild on ded servr

Server bros before hoes.

Don’t feel bad, just hug zergs/towers/keeps and run away from all fights unless you have at least 3 times as many players. That’s what most WvW players do anyway, they just won’t admit it.

CD goes from fighting Fort Blob to Dragon Blob to Storm Blob, and now back to Fort Blob. This league sure is exciting!

We need more things to use them on or to atleast be able to sell them. Myself and tons and tons of other people have gotten to the point we just destroy them. They take up inventory space.

Without giving any specifics, I’d highly recommend you change that strategy. There are things coming soon that will give you lots to spend it on.

Why do you nerf destroy item strategy?

Not that impressive, all SBI has are numbers. FA put up much better fights against us a few weeks ago and they didnt outnumber us at every corner.

Agreed, that’s probably why SBI lost to FA even though they have more players and better coverage.

You’re aware servers don’t lose if they have more players and better coverage right?

If a server loses its because they’re outnumbered and have les Coverage, FA won because they had more people. If you think FA won and claim we had more people then them, you clearly are ignoring pretty much the entire history of WvW matches in this game and should be ignored for being clueless.

GrandmaFunk.3052:

there seems to be some confusion here.. escape and mobility are two different concepts.

escape is being able to remove yourself from a losing situation long enough to regain parity.

ex: Mistform, one of the best escape options, doesn’t affect mobility at all.

Mistform is only an escape if you’re tower hugging, which despite common belief is not roaming. If you think something that just makes you invulnerable for a little bit without providing any gap wideners or movement speed bonus is an escape, then you must think guardians have a pretty sweet escape with renewed focus.

Why does SBI blob so much?

GrandmaFunk.3052:

care to explain how you quantify mobility and assign it that specific value?

as for escape options: necros have DS and plague form for extended survivability, spectral walk and necrotic traversal to teleport, several sources of fear to create breathing room, better condition removal, being able to drop condition AOEs behind you to slow down chasers.

All those necros summoning wurms and using necrotic traversal to escape need to be nerfed, too much mobility.
